five fact friday: baby books

October 21, 2011

I’ve had several readers ask me what books I’d recommend for pregnancy and for having a new baby. I’ve read probably way too many books on this.

things i love: baby headbands

September 15, 2011

I get lots of questions about Sophie’s headbands. I love them all! When I found out that our baby was a girl, I was SOOOOO excited about baby headbands. I’ve seen SO many cute ribbons and bows, homemade and store-bought. I thought I might teach myself how to make the bows, but I ended up [...]

It could be that I’m just baby-minded right now, but I think this baby/toddler sock advent garland from Martha Stewart is adorable. I think it’s also a perk that you could fit in a few little candies/treats (rather than just one) if you have several munchkins (or adults) running around. Adorable!
